I was just watching SNL tonight. I couldn't make it through the last 30 minutes. It was quite difficult to even watch the first hour. This behavior of mine is a far difference from the devotion I used to have when watching the show. I wouldn't miss a minute.
Sadly, SNL has become so politically driven in their sketches and drastically in the Weekend Update segment. Not surprisingly it is skewed toward the left wing, anti-Bush claptrap. Yes, the show has always poked fun at presidents. But the "jokes" aimed at Bush don’t generate a humorous response within me. This is not the case with the live audience at the show. They shout applauses to the punch lines that have the same rhetoric as leftist talk (containing little thought extending beyond a feel-good feeling).
SNL has a very talented cast for impersonations, which I find extremely humorous. Sure Bush talks a bit funny. And it's entertaining to see the imitations of the Nuc-u-lar pronunciations (check out the third definition at Webster's).
At one time it was a dream of mine to be on SNL. It's not so much a dream anymore. Although it would be a fun challenge (most likely) being the only conservative, republican, christian working on the show.
I would love to see the SNL return to focusing on comedic sketches and memorable characters. You all know the one's I'm talking about - Mr. Peepers, The Spartan Cheerleaders, Simon who does drawrings, The Church Lady, and so on.
Hhhmmm. So maybe I still should pursue being on SNL. I could be the one that steers them back to being funny. Alright then. I'll do it. So I'll start, rather resume practicing..."Live from NY it's Saturday Night!!!"
